Polygonia interrogationis
Its hind wing has a longer tail than other commas. Behind the hind wing is either purplish brown or striped tan, brown, or blue. The fore wing has a black dash near the tip.
It is found normally in woodland openings, stream sides, or anywhere near a few trees. I found this one on a fence in my backyard.
Its Larval food plants are hops, nettles, elms and hackberries. They fly from spring to fall and are found in the north, west and south United States.
